30840 TJ 4” LIFT KIT

Warrior recommends installation of this kit by a certified technician. In addition to these instructions, professional knowledge

of disassemble/re-assembly procedures, as well as post installation checks must be known. Attempts to install this system

without this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating safety of the vehicle.

Please read instructions before beginning installation. Check the kit hardware against the parts list. Be sure you have all

needed parts and know where they go.

With the installation of all lift kits and larger tires it is important to check the condition of

your steering stabilizer. If the stabilizer is worn or is leaking it should be replaced. A

multiple stabilizer kit is recommended for vehicles equipped with a snow plow, winch, or

larger tires.

Please read instructions before beginning installation. Check the kit hardware against the

parts layout and list found on the last page of these instructions. Be sure you have all

needed parts and know where they go.

With the installation of all lift kits and larger tires it is important to check the condition of

your steering stabilizer. If the stabilizer is worn or is leaking it should be replaced.

Steering stabilizers are designed to restrain “bump steering” and front end vibration, giving added life to tires,

ball joints, and other steering components. A multiple stabilizer kit is recommended for vehicles equipped with a winch or

larger tires

PRODUCT USE INFORMATION

1. As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. Offset, as much as possible, what is lost in rollover resistance

by increasing tire track width. In other words, go "wide" as you go "tall". Many sportsmen remove their mud tires after

hunting season and install ones more appropriate for street driving; always use as wide a tire and wheel combination as

possible to enhance vehicle stability.

2. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that the vehicle be equipped with a functional roll-bar and cage

system. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur

3. Generally, braking performance and capability are decreased when significantly larger/heavier tires and wheels are used.

Take this into consideration while driving.

4. Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the

Warrior product purchased. Mixing component brands is not recommended.

5. Warrior makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsible for

any product that is altered.

6. The required installation time for this system is approximately 8 hours.

7. This suspension system was developed using a 33 x 12.50R – 15 tire, on a 8” wheel. Before installing other combinations,

please consult your local tire and wheel specialist.

8. The following tools and supplies are recommended for proper installation of this kit.

a. Spring Compressor b. Pitman Arm Puller

c. Silicone Spray d. Drill Motor

e. Drill Assortment (1/8” to 1/2") f. Torque Wrench (250 ft lbs. Capacity)

g. Hammer h. ½” Drive Ratchet and Sockets

i. Combination Wrenches j. Allen Wrenches

k. Torq Key Socket l. Hacksaw

m. File n. Large “C” Clamps and/or Bench Vise

POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile, fixed and

heated members. Check steering gear for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.

2. Readjust headlamps. Have the vehicle aligned to the following specifications:

Adjustment Preferred Range

Caster 7° ± 1°

Camber - 0.25° ± .63°
